Florida park reports birth of ultra-rare white leucistic alligator
Fox News
A white leucistic alligator was born Thursday at Gatorland Orlando, a Florida reptile park which three of the seven known white leucistics in existence call home.
"This is beyond rare. It is absolutely extraordinary," Mark McHugh, president and CEO of Gatorland, said in a statement.
The park is asking for the public's help in naming the alligator, which is descended from a nest of leucistic alligators discovered in the swamps of Louisiana in 1987. The blue-eyed newborn is the first solid white alligator ever recorded to have descended from those original alligators, McHugh said.
